DHgate Reviews Summary

Many customers express frustration over inadequate customer service, citing difficulties in obtaining refunds, unresponsive sellers, and complicated dispute processes. While some customers initially found value in the low prices, the overwhelming sentiment is one of disappointment, particularly regarding product discrepancies and shipping issues. Trust in the platform is low, as many users recommend avoiding it altogether in favor of more reputable alternatives.

Hard pass on this company and their products!

Highly recommend that you use other options for products than DHGate - Tried them for a 4 figure piece of equipment that arrived damaged and part of it doesn't work. Seller was uncooperative and DHGate didn't do anything to assist in resolving the situation. Very different than what would happen with Amazon and several other companies of this type. We didn't get any messages or notices until we logged into the account and find out that they had closed the case. So we're out $XXXX and have a piece of junk.

Also note - their prices are higher than many other sites like one that begins with A and another one that begins with e.

Hope no one else has to deal with this and take your hard earned money to someplace that treats you right and delivers what you are supposed to get in working order! Truly the WORST shopping experience I've had in years.

My 15 year old son still hasn't received his shoes and it's been six months. Customer service gives the runaround. Never does anything about it. Please refrain from using this buyer. They are definitely a scam.

Dress poorly made.
April 17, 2024

This is my second review on this issue. I purchased this gown from DHGate for my granddaughters senior ball. 1st time i ever ordered from them and the last.The dress is beautiful pictured online. 1st thing, it arrived late. We opened it and it reeked of a chemical smell. She tried it on, the hip area was to tight, the back was loose, but she tired it closed, however the two ends did not match up (see pic) The dress was not the size we ordered. It has loose strings all over the dress, and the stitching is poorly done. I went back and forth in messages with the seller. I asked for half my money back so I can take it to a tailors to have it fixed, after going back and forth with her for days, she agreed to refund me only $60 but i only received $54. I took the dress to the tailors to have it fixed, the lady said it would cost more then what the dress is worth to fix it, I took it to another and he said he would not attempt to touch it. I sent a message to the seller and informed her, she told me ship it back to them. So I packaged it up and took it to the post office just to find out it would cost me more to ship it back than the refund she gave me of $54 dollars. Contacted the seller again. She said "sorry my friend, you agreed on the refund", I said yes $60, but you gave me $54 I told her I really need half of my money back or you pay for the shipping, she said she would give me $36 refund, but said I had to remove my review. I paid $160 for the dress. I told her when I get the refund I will take the review down. It's been a week and I got no refund and she's not responding to my messages.
And also when I had the dress at the tailors, I had them do the measurements of the dress, the hip size was a 47inch, we order a 51 inch in the hips. This dress is completely useless.
Please see the photos, I also sent a screen shot of the sellers message asking me to remove my review.

Website should not exist
April 5, 2024

I bought an product there that was so different from the basic description itself. I tried to open a ticket to return and get a refund and the site basically refused, saying it needs to be marked received and 10 days have to pass before I can initiate a complaint. I ALREADY MARKED IT RECEIVED! I reported the transaction to my cc company so they're investigating. I sent them the pictures and the product description as proof. The idiot seller was non-communicative. I'll never utilize these kind of sites ever again.

Hi Chandra B.,

We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. I can see here that the order 31373267349 is already beyond the sellers promised delivery. We have opened a dispute for your refund instead. Once the dispute is opened, your seller is given 5 days to respond and sort things out with you. If the seller declines your proposal within 5 days, you can request mediation on the 6th day. If the seller fails to respond to your dispute proposal within 5 days, the system will process your original dispute proposal automatically on the 6th day from the time that the dispute is filed.

I purchased a counterfeit cell phone, when I went back to the company, they had me send all kinds of information and then told me the Seller said it was not counterfeit and to contact the Seller, which of course was another dead end. Absolute rip off!

I received a damaged bag, when opened a dispute the seller proposed me to send it back and I would get a a full refund including the the cost of re-shipping. He gave me a fake address and the bag was resent to me, I got a refund on the bag but not return shipping. The seller stopped answering my messages and couldn't get help through Dhgate customer service. I was nor even able to leave a review to warn future customers. Very disappointing

Still haven't got it
March 16, 2024

I ordered an item for an event it said it come before February 5th, well its been stuck in Saskatchewan for two months, I no longer need it. But I can't request a refund until it's here. I think my package is lost but there's no way of contacting them except by international call, no email, no customer support email or anything. I can't even report it either. I've tried contacting carrier many times via email, it's been over a month with no response. My second update said March 5th, well still not here, HASNT LEFT in almost 2 MONTHS. Do not order from them

Hi Jen,

Good day!

I understand that you are concerned about your order 31201339499 not yet received. I can see here that the tracking of the order shows no update since January 29th. In this case, since the order is already beyond the guaranteed delivery date, you have the option to open a dispute and request for a refund.

Here's how to open a dispute on PC:
1) Home Page “Click on My DHgate”.
2) My DHgate “Click on My Orders”.
3) My Orders “Click on Awaiting confirm”. You can also use the search box by putting in the order number.
4) Awaiting Confirm “Click on Open a Dispute”.
5) Dispute Page (This is where you can choose your proposal to the seller) Click on Continue.

Here's how to open a dispute on APP:
"1. Go to the ‘My Orders” page, click on ‘Awaiting Confirm or Awaiting review or shipped’ and click on the order you want a dispute to be opened
2. This opens the details of the order. Scroll down to the bottom part of the page.
3. Click on ‘Open Dispute’
4. You can choose from the three options:
A. Get a Refund (No Return)
B. Get a Refund (Return Item)
C. Get a Replacement"

Once the dispute is opened, your seller is given 5 days to respond and sort things out with you. If the seller declines your proposal within 5 days, you can request mediation on the 6th day. If the seller fails to respond to your dispute proposal within 5 days, the system will process your original dispute proposal automatically on the 6th day from the time that the dispute is filed.

I purchased an item off DHgate and the tracking number suddenly stopped. The USPS said it is a common DHgate scam. The item was never delivered. I attempted to contact the seller but they
No longer exist. I went to file a dispute and the DHgate site said I couldn't do that without first
Contacting the seller. Then my dispute got locked out.

My items were supposed to be delivered over a week ago, but they never arrived. I was very patient trying to negotiate with the seller to see what we could do to resolve this issue. The seller was very rude and dismissive and demanded that I contact the post office myself to see where my order was!?!? If you are the seller, it is YOUR job to make sure your customers receive their items on time. How DARE you ask me to contact the post office to do your job for you. On the app, the tracking shows that my package was sent through EMS shipping. However, the seller messaged me a USPS tracking number and claimed that my package was delivered to my mailbox… my apartment doesn't even have a mailbox so I know that this information is incorrect and I have most likely been scammed by the seller. This entire experience was very unprofessional, and I feel that DHgate is unreliable and untrustworthy. I tried to contact DHgate customer service for mediation, but received several notifications informing me that I had to wait several days to request mediation. To make matters worse, DHgate management had the audacity to email me and ask why I disputed the charges as "merchandise not received". They even went as far as to say that they would compromise my account If I did not reply to their message. I informed DHgate management that the reason I disputed the charges is exactly what they have just stated, I never received the merchandise. I emphasize that I do not care if you guys suspend or restrict my account, I will never be shopping from this company ever again and will advise my family and friends to do the same.

Please just make sure to check on both your email, or your dispute messages so that you can be kept updated.

Never again
February 24, 2024

I ordered a pair of shoes. I didn't receive a confirmation nor was there an invoice with my package. The shoes are missed sized. I ordered an 8 going up a half size just to be safe. When my shoes arrived I couldn't begin to get them on. I have not found an address or a phone number to get a return started. My credit card company gave me a courtesy credit to resolve this issue. I will never buy anything from this company.

Do not use this site. I paid £80 for a coat that turned up with a broken zip, fabric not stitched properly and the ditching was frayed. I disputed this with the seller ( who had a returns policy) and was told to finish the stitching myself and that they can't refund as they don't make a lot of money. I disputed this with DH Gate and they refunded £20 and told me it was pointless returning the coat as it will probably get lost in transit so they would only refund £20. The customer service is horrendous and because your not buying from legit companies they can rip you off like this and there's not much you can do about it.
I've also ordered things from there that have a guaranteed delivery date, this was missed by a month but the seller just ignored me when I asked them to cancel the order as I had ordered things for my holiday, over a month before I went and I didn't receive them until after I got back. Again DH gate have been no use in helping, they just want your money and sell you absolute garbage items that you can't return or get refunded on
